If I could be guaranteed to not leave the country I would like to join the army. However, pretty much everyone new goes to Iraq or Afghanistan these days. That's a bit too much risk for me.

it's really not THAT risky when you consider how many people have gone and how many people have come home. but yeah it's still a risk. personally I'd never join the army. fighting in wars and shit is just something im completely opposed to. id like to think that humans are better than that (but they're obviously not, haha)

I think you're assuming to much. I'm also diabetic and more than familiar with what it entails for employment. I don't know why you'd want to be in the armed forces unless you are trying to run for office some day...but if you want to "serve your country" I recommend you do something a little more intellectually engaging...the fed is desperate for translators, foreign contractors, and there are all sorts of FBI / CIA jobs. Nothing but respect for the armed forces, but ppl on this forum tend to be smarter than the average joe, so I assume you are.

As for police and fire, half the cops in the country are diabetic (type 2) and there is the "American Disability Act", which I would check out if I were you. I'm fairly certain that simply having a disease can't keep you from getting in; this is why the medical examination is required, by law, to come after the written/oral/physical/background/polygraph/psyc evaluations in law enforcement.

Where I'm from, the requirement is that you have a hemoglobin A1C below 7.0 for a consistent amount of time.

I'm from SF, california, so you can't get into a fire department around here unless you are a black / hispanic / woman / lesbian anyway. But I imagine, in general, the diabetic thing is the same. It's legally considered discrimination if you're ineligible solely for being diabetic...but you have to prove you aren't a liability.
